Forensic samples may need analysis with multiple techniques; confocal Raman and photoluminescence microscopy are well suited to deal with such samples. Only microscopic amounts are required, and the techniques are non-destructive and non-contact: essential for further analysis of forensic samples. No sample preparation is required, and the results provide chemical and spatial information on sample components.
